★★★★☆ 4.0 Amy · Jan 2026

We had our first experience at First Watch today. It was extremely busy which probably contributed to my 4 stars instead of 5 on service. The food was pretty good but the Million Dollar Bacon was amazing! When I got my grits they were completely cold but our server got them done over for us pretty quickly. Our bacon got forgotten but it ended up being a great dessert at the end of our meal. 🙂 Loved the atmosphere and the conversation cards and the coffee being left at the table. We will definitely visit again!

Everything was absolutely delicious. The breakfast was perfectly prepared, with fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon cooked just right, well-seasoned home fries, and thick slices of toast with a great balance of crunch and softness. The flavors were fresh, comforting, and clearly made with care. The presentation was appetizing, the portions were generous, and everything arrived hot. You can tell quality ingredients are used, and the food feels homemade rather than rushed or generic. It’s the kind of meal that leaves you satisfied without feeling heavy. On top of that, the atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming, making the experience even better. This is a great spot for a solid, flavorful breakfast, whether you’re starting your day or just craving something truly well made. I would definitel

Ordered takeout for brunch. A melt sandwich, a chimichanga type thing, and an iced coffee. The iced coffee was just gross, it was too sweet even though it’s just a basic iced coffee and shouldn’t be sweet at all, and whatever syrup they use has this nasty cheap alcohol aftertaste. The melt sandwich and the chimichanga was fine, but the sides of “lemon-tossed salad mix” had no lemon at all, and fruit salad side was two tiny dressing cups. The presentation was not great either, and overall just felt like they cut corners on each portion of our meal. Not worth the price tag and we’d rather go to Waffle House for better value & satisfaction.

A year ago First Watch had the Parmesan Prosciutto Toast. I asked them to make it into a sandwich and add avocado mash… chef’s KISS!!! Please bring this back and make it a permanent menu item!!

Amazing rustic romantic quaint laid back yet I felt bougie and fancy - love the food and I’m picking about my coffee and teas - the barista (super friendly) he made me the most amazing London fog (Paris tea w/lavender and vanilla) I’ve ever had! The lox bagel was delicious! I ate it sitting on an old fashioned settie with an old rustic wooden living room style table - next to a cute window and plants and a cabinet with old board games - it’s got something for everyone - great quiet study place to do work or catch up with a friend - AND I am Definitely Gonna grab some of the amazing looking bakery goods to go on my way out. Amazing accidental find. Not many places like this around anymore!. I live 35 mins away but it’s worth the drive! I will be back! Added to my list of favorite places!
